Each penny counts, each second matters

Each penny counts, each second matters, you have to match the pace
If you get tired and choose to stop, someone else will win the race
What was right? What was wrong? Did I do my best?
Was I slow? Did I take too long? Did I deserve more than the rest?
Dilemmas dilemmas everywhere may get big or small
There is no book that you can flip and find answers for them all
Isn’t this what we call life that marks our existence?
The questions we ask, and finding answers with persistence
The world would be no fun if we knew it all at once
Drop by drop, an inch by inch, we play the game of chance
Let’s learn from our past and evolve into future
Both success and failure, lets embrace and nurture
Big deal if you lost or failed against another
Work on it more, try and make it better
Define your morals, believe in truth
Uplift yourself beyond spiritual good.
Each being is a different permutation, not all behave the same
Some may curse you for their loss, some may put the blame
Or some may drag you down with them and some may fall prey
Amidst this wave on the shore, how strong would your surfboard stay?
Knowledge is supreme, context irrespective
It answers your questions, enhances your perspective
Ask questions, seek answers, comprehension is the key
But each penny still counts , each second still matters, so how quick can you be?
